Help East Austin Communities Today!


by: Michael Redding

Tue Apr 08, 2008 at 08:07 PM CDT


Hello, all you Austin-area BOR readers!

 

An organization I'm involved with at UT is preparing for our 11th annual 5K race in just a couple of weeks, and I thought I'd extend the invitation to come out and run for a good cause!  This year, we're benefitting Project 2009, which is an East Austin community cleanup project.  The largest single one-day of community service in Austin helps to paint houses, pick up litter, repair parks, and otherwise foster a greater emphasis on community in Austin.

 

That being said, we need your help!  As of the time of this writing, we only have 86 runners for the race that is Sunday, April 20th, 2008 at 8am on the UT Campus.  If you can come out and run (or walk) for a good cause, please consider registering for our race (it's only $20 and includes a great goodie bag!)  If not, please consider donating as little as $1 to help clean up your community!

Sounds like a great project (0.00 / 0)
I think I'm going to contribute.  I have a conflict for that day.  But I support clean-up projects.  I've block walked a lot of PCTs in East Austin and it's really sad to see how much they need a clean up.  I wonder sometimes if our city doesn't just short change them on trash pickup.  Clean up projects help the community.  And we are all in the same community.

Thank you so much for that donation! (0.00 / 0)
I'm in the process of writing a plea to post on DKos -- since Netroots Nation is coming into town, I figure the folks over there may want to help us out.

And there's always next year to run/walk the race!
